certain improvements in Bricks, which the following is e speeicetion.

object of this invention is to make o. brick of such torni. that it con be readily moin position and wich will e sobstnnie r the ordinary th' i bricks Vcomnsed in trepleces, nearths, etc., where :in ornnmentni iireinooz brick is desired.

"the ick of the nresent invention is double timed so that e. gie mold can be used in inciting' these bricks and they can be. used with either 'e es the outer fece.

My impr brick cen be readily keyed to the suppdiing iframe and can be either esseinbied in straight courses ortoproduce i iringbone design, .is desired.

hichllies been rv' ich the brick is mostiy ,ii his brick hes three sections o, c, 0.2, s indicated so that. one set of interlock with another set, as clearly si Wn in 5, breaking joints when the'oricks are arranged in n straight course. Each section of the brick has e facing; o et one side and e facing Za. on the opposite side., 'These acingsere seperated by grooves c, c", indicated in `Fig. 3, end the end orf erich section is notched et e forming with en adjoining brick e groove similar to the grooves c, c. When the bricks are 51ssembled herringbone fashion, as in Fig. 5,-

the mortar is forced into the grooves c and e, toi-ning e complete separation ot the fece et encb section; giving the appearance 'of e bock e l jambe ot n. i'ir'e-plece, or other' snrt'eco nir-.de of email qnidrenguler bricks.

liihen the bricks arranged in horithe cement is pieced in the grooves separe g the severei faces, giving the smell, narrow bricks. By making the bricks double faced, as indicated,

they cen 'be used as rights and lefts in making such e design as-illustrated in Fig. Furthermore, bygrooving the back of brick, es indicated, the cement, which is used to hold the bricks in piece, is keyed to the bricks as it enters the' grooves between the teces'ot the brick, maklng e very substan-` tial t'ace or' Wall and especially applicable es e re-place lining which is subjected :it times toextrenie heet and cold, making the ordinary lining' very diiiicult to retain properly in piece. The brick can be used :is a hearth 'or :i flooring or tile, if desired.

in Fig. G, l have illustrated e'two-section brick A. instead of e three-section brick, but it will be understood that n brick can be mede of more than three sections if' desired, although' l find that'e three-'section brick meets the usuel reqnirements.v

Si claim: f

l. As '.1 new article of manufacturcya brick made in integral-l Sections; thesect-ions being` identical in s hape;lone section being stepped in. advnce of another; each section the same size; one section being stepped inl advance of another and each section having e projecting tace 'at each side; the facings beingspaced apart by `longitudinal grooves; said facings beingvof less length than the sections and terminating short of one end of eachsection so that Vi'henthe bricks :ire assembled and cement placed in the grooves, each facing will represent an independent brick; the tucngs at the back ot theibrick forming keys for securing the brick'to the Wall.-
